Black Bottle
70cl / 40%
Blended Scotch Whisky
A superlative blend of Islay malts with some choice single grain whiskies, Black Bottle is criminally little-known for a whisky of this quality. Outstanding value for money and picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.

My Dad's favourite - 'nuff said!

Tried this for the first time and realised that I had been missing out for years. The taste, smoothnes with just the right amount of peat in the background makes this a winner in my books. Just ordered a few more

as a Scot,i have been drinking this off n on for over 30 years now..only a couple o'nips a night mind you...now living in milton keynes,England,i have introducted many,many people to the delights of Scotlans best kept secret...the good thing,the big chain pubs in England don't sell it....a nice surprise for our dinner party guests,SIMPLY the best blended whisky in the world...and the Scotish judge awards it 10/10...pure perfction,all ways copied but never equelled.

Puts Johnnie Walker to shame. I prefer this over Blue Label. Hands down.

This is good. No, more than good, and with the price tag astounding is probably more apt. Smooth as you like straight from the bottle, bags of rich flavour, some smokey peat and a wonderful aroma. You can instantly pick up on the classy Islay malts that form its heart. I actually prefer this to many single malts costing twice the price...

I was introduced to BB recently. It is a wonderful blend. Islay in a nutshell, if you wish. The balance between fruity and smoky aromas is excellent. There are young ones here that give it a certain edge. A blend full of character. For the price it is definitely one of the best I have sampled. I have been a single malt drinker for two decades now, and this drew my attention to the fact that blending, in itself, is an art.

Brilliant blended whisky. Please don't be put off by the low rent packaging. Excellent price (web price is similar price to a bottle of Bells). Blows most Johnny Walkers (with the exception of Gold label) out of the water including Blue label which is about ten times the price!
- Steven, Guildford Surrey, 4th Aug '11
Black Bottle and White Horse are just so ludicrously good it's a wonder anyone bothers making other blends in the same price range.

Made the mistake of assuming that Black Grouse would do as a temporary alternative (was on a special offer in Sainsburys). Please accept my apologies.

Best blend around,and my favourite regular Dram, hard to find in London nowadays so TWE You guys are a Godsend !
- anonymous, 14th May '11
For those "surprised" by the lack of obvious peat/smoke, as well as its aba while back I found that BB made a perfect foundation for the addition of a drop of ANY typical Islay, from Laphroaig Cask Strength to Lagavulin 16...just a drizzle in your dram, and it took on the character of that whisky! Now that's an amazing feature for a hard up malt maniac!
- Tim Hain (Reggaeblues), 12th May '11
"Nose": Malty! For an Islay blend, I was expecting more smoke and peat, but what I sniff initially is malt. Not bad at all, just a little surprising. After the pleasant malt flavor, the scotch does reveal peat and smoke, but very restrained. "Palate": sweet entry of malt followed by soft smoke and gentle peat. Hardly any peat. This is very soft. Extremely quaffable. "Finish": Pencil shavings, malt, cardamon and of course smoke and peat.

Amazing whisky punching way above it's weight! Buy a bottle.
- Gary, Rugby., 9th Jan '11
unbelievable whisky . I prefer it over a much much higher priced and well known whiskys.notice that it cant be appreciated by amateurs.
- DAG, 30th Dec '10
My wife loves Black Bottle for about 6yrs. Sh absoltely adores it, now that I have found your website I will be able to keep her supplied.
- Dick Martin, 17th Dec '10
I found Black Bottle very quaffable, although a little unremarkable. I expected a little more peat but the sheer smoothness of this whisky was a good compensation. Certainly the best blend I have ever tasted and in my view it trounces many single-malts costing several times the price.
- Alex W, Norfolk, 10th Dec '10
I have been drinking black bottle for years ever since i discovered most of the pubs i visited on my walking hols in Scotland stocked it ( think they send all the rubbish over the border!!) and i love it. so smooth and luscious, for the price it beats the luxury blends hands down!
- mark brailsford, 6th Dec '10
Smokey, peaty and smooth. I'll put this next to my black grouse as the best bargain buys...fantastic stuff!
